Thank you for your help :) I really have no idea on aircon systems although happy to learn. My motto is how hard can it be ;) Having said that would you recommend researching the topic and having a go or is it a big pain in the @@@@ and simpler to pop to a garage to at least diagnose ( I assume...

Hi, A bit of advice would be much appreciated. My air con on 2002 P38 hasn't worked for a few years but as it has generally been a "working" vehicle ( and fantastic ) it wasn't a priority. Over the last year I have spent many enjoyable hours getting her back to her former glory. The last bit of...

Its Lynx Evo, a dongle that Bluetooths to the iPhone.

Cheers. Will give it a shot :)

Hi. I would like to pick the brains of the P38 experts please :) After sorting out my heater matrix o-rings and putting everything back together the driver's side heating isn't working. Quick scan gave the fault codes in the attached pic. Before diving in I wondered if anyone had any thoughts...

Sorry didn’t explain very well. It is an epoxy especially for sealing metals, plastics etc where water is involved and is designed to cope with very high pressures and temperature. You just apply a little on the outside of the surface area where the leak is. Absolutely nothing going in the...

Thanks everyone for the thoughts and advice. I decided to go with JB waterweld to fix the leak in situ. Really impressed how well it has worked. Absolutely bone dry now. On to the next on my long list of jobs!

Thanks guys. In the end I thought it was too much of a faff as you both say so masked everything up. Pleased with how they’ve turned out, a lot smarter than the two smashed ones they replaced !

No it’s totally clear and nothing at all that would cause it. The o/rings have been done before at some point as the hole was already cut in the panel. Maybe it got damaged then somehow.

I've found the hole now on the back of the pipe and it feels pretty tiny. In fact it hardly leaks at all once the coolant is up to temperature ! I came to the same conclusion and have ordered some JB Waterweld which has got good reviews. Fingers crossed it does the trick as the pipes are really...

I definitely wish I had a LHD just now lol :)

Definitely coolant as blue. I am pretty sure somehow there is a pin hole in the back of the ally pipe but will triple check everything as was trying to avoid removing the dash. I'll get a little camera to pop up there and see if it sheds any light. Would also explain why the footwell was damp...

@Grrrrrr Thanks. So do you mean once they're out you don't think there's anyway of getting them back? Or just without removing the dash fully? I must admit I was surprised myself and not what I expected to find. Also can't seem to find a single other example online or on forums. I can't find...

@Rubberknees Thanks that's good to know. When you changed the heater matrix did you change the feeder & return pipes too? Do they just pull through from under the dashboard and then thread the new ones back through to the engine bay ? Cheers

So today I decided to replace the o-rings on the heater matrix as footwell damp. Used the 'quick' method of cutting hole for access and all went well. Old o-rings didn't look too bad to my surprise and I couldn't see obvious evidence of a leak but changed them over to the new ones. When I...

Thanks @Khemitude. That makes sense.

Thanks @Ratae. I suspected it was but just wanted to check. Cheers for the tip as well as I haven't done much in the way of painting and spraying !

Hi, I've searched forums, internet and Rave to the best of my ability and can't find anything so am hoping the wisdom of the forum can help. I am replacing both my damaged wing mirrors ( the whole assembly not just the glass ) and as I couldn't find any in the right colour have got a couple of...

With my cooking skills it could be a disaster ;)

That's great thank you for the advice @myfirstl322
